Salt substitute study for people on long-term dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a potassium-containing salt substitute to see if it can be used safely for people on regular dialysis for kidney failure. You may be eligible if you already receive outpatient hemodialysis and meet several health and medication requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (age 21 or older) receiving regular outpatient hemodialysis (HD)
- If you can become pregnant, you can provide a negative pregnancy test
- Your recent blood potassium level is not dangerously high (not over 6.0 in the last 30 days)
- You have not needed an unscheduled dialysis session for high potassium in the last 30 days
- You attend most scheduled dialysis visits (at least 10 of the last 13)
- You are not taking other potassium supplements, and you can consent to the study

This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
This trial is testing whether adjusting the amount of potassium in your dialysis fluid can help prevent heart problems and other health issues. If you are on in-center dialysis three times a week, this study may help find a safer way to manage your potassium levels.
This trial tests whether using a potassium-rich salt substitute instead of regular salt can help control blood pressure in kidney transplant recipients. It aims to find a simple dietary change that might improve heart health.
This study tests whether using a salt substitute instead of regular salt can help protect kidney function after kidney tumor surgery. It is for people who had a kidney removed (either full or partial) and whose remaining kidney is working well.
This study tests whether using a low-sodium salt substitute can keep your potassium levels safe while you manage your high blood pressure. It's for adults with high blood pressure who are already on stable medications.
This trial tests if adjusting the salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can improve your health. It is for people on dialysis who have trouble with too much fluid gain or high blood pressure between sessions.
